My Kids Wedding Album Continued...AND...Blog Hop

Hi All,

We are having a blog hop over at The Cuttlebug Spot today. Our challenge is to take any of the techniques we've used so far and use it in our project. So....in continuing with my kid's wedding album, I used the "embossed sanding" technique for one of my pages. Of course, my black paper had a white core, or else I wouldn't be able to sand the color off.

Scroll down a few posts to see the cover and first pages.

Your next stop on the Blog Hop is over at Amyee's. Her work is outstanding, as are all the DT sisters. Amyee's projects are always so fresh. Have fun over there and continue on till you end up back at The Cuttlebug Spot.

Thanks for stopping by. Leave a little love if you have the chance. I do really appreciate your comments.

My Wedding album

Hi All,

I am working on my own album of my kid's wedding. All pages are acrylic and hang from rings attached to the acrylic stand. I've never seen this before it came into the store and I really love it. I know it will take me months to complete because I have so many other projects happening, but I don't mind; I am relishing the process for this album.

I am not sure if I like the ribbons on the rings. Do you think they are a bit too much?? I would really love to hear your opinions.

Of course, I will be getting a formal album made by the photographer once I pick through the 1,300 photos she took! But this one is for my desk with just the photos that I love best!

Over at the Pink Elephant Challenge blog, the challenge this week is to submit anything that has to do with weddings, so I believe this qualifies, LOL. It will be my first challenge over there. There are some extremely talented paper crafters there! http://thepinkelephantchallenge.blogspot.com/ You should check them out.

Here are the first couple of photos...more to come!

The Wedding Was Awesome

We had a wonderful time at our son's wedding. I took over 1,000 pictures and the "real" photographer took almost 3,000! I will be scrapping for a loooooong time.

Here are a few of photos of the happy couple. Aren't my kids beautiful?!?

This is my DS, DH and me right before the ceremony.

This card is the first project I've made since coming home. It is for the challange over at The Cuttlebug Spot. There are so many new DT members, so go check them out, if you haven't already.

I just fell in love with the DCWV Le Creme stack and bought loads of it before the wedding. Since the wedding colors were black and ivory, I couldn't resist. I hope you like these patterns too, cause I intend to make my album (and all the ones my family members have requested!) using all these delicious papers.
